Greinke is one of those pitchers who proves that BABIP and K/BB aren't relevant peripheral stats to judge every pitcher based on. He's should be judged based on ERA/RA, and that's it. He refuses to risk walking even dangerous hitters after he's down in counts. It would behoove him to nibble and pitch backwards. Then he wouldn't be so predictable, and allow good hitters to get their timing right, and hammer the baseball.
I'm pretty sure Greinke is showing that they are completely relevant. 5 straight quality starts, 6 ER and 40 K. The results (ERA/RA) are finally starting to reflect what the peripherals have been showing all year.

I want Hawkins over Saito here. He throws straighter and we can't afford to allow baserunners. Bring in Saito if you get into the middle of their order.
WHOA? Is that you?

Hawkins totally meant to do that.
This is Jack Burton in the Pork Chop Express, and I'm talkin' to whoever's listenin' out there.
